Looking for slalom skate spot near UC Berkeley
On 9/2/2019 Orion wrote in from United States  (73.70.nnn.nnn)

Does anyone still looking at this forum know any safe slalom skate spots in the bay area, or know anyone that might know. Or know anyone that wants to skate with me and my brother. I am trying to prepare for the worlds this year. Also my instagram is @thatasiansurfer for anyone that wants to find me

If you're thinking about and wanting to race the US Nationals in Salem Oregon Aug 3rd & 4th 2019 and but don't have anything to race on because your stuff was lost in fire, flood, etc, get ahold of me either with the email name-click-thingy or find me on the 'ol Facebook ahead of time and I can probably set you up with a complete that will get you through the race.

Salem Oregon Brad Kasha Memorial BBQ Slalom
On 4/25/2019 Paul Howard wrote in from (50.206.nnn.nnn)

"GO" is the answer.

The weather forecast looks great, Salem Parks-n-Rec says there's no conflict on their schedule so as of today, it's a "GO".

If something happens to put the ka-bosh on it, I'll post here and on the 'ol Facebook (for those who are NCDSA-impaired).

I've got a broken rib so I'll be moving a bit slow, but Vic will pick up the slack, hopefully.

See you there!

23 years and counting..
On 4/3/2019 Adam wrote in from United States  (73.70.nnn.nnn)

Upon updating our little birthday girl on the home page this year, it occurred to me that, perhaps, Ncdsa's longevity was extraordinary.

Turns out I was right! With our origin dating back to 1996 and operating *continuously* since then, we rank right up there with the web's true dinosaurs..

Thanksgiving
On 11/22/2018 loneskater wrote in from (174.238.nnn.nnn)

Happy Thanksgiving all. And to think in 2001 some of us were on a hill in LaCosta. It truly was a great time. So where ever you are to all those into slalom before and since, have a great day.

Thank you to Adam for keeping this place open. I wish I would see more of te old heads here, but I guess we are all getting older. I do most of my riding in bowls and parks nowadays, but I still have a Comet Cross and and Ick Stick at the ready.

Salem WCC Equipment Loaners

Hey, if anyone is thinking of coming to the Salem, Oregon WCC Sept 22nd & 23rd but has lost their slalom setups due to wildfires or whatnot, I have extra Tight and 19"-21" wheelbase decks, and equipment to loan out and can set anyone up with a complete if needed (sorry, no extra "precision"trucks with spherical bearings but I have the next best options) I can help you dial-it in. Email me with the email-name-click-thingy or look me up on the facebook.

Subs for lunch, don't bring meat since there won't be a BBQ to cook them on.

Salem Slalom BBQ or Subs is a GO!
On 6/15/2018 Vic Smead's little helper wrote in from (50.206.nnn.nnn)

Per phone call today the hill is available so, barring mechanical vehicle problems, the Slalom-food-n-blab-fest appears to be a GO!

Remember: HELMETS, WATER, BROOMS, CONES

Thanks - The Management.

Salem Oregon Slalom Update....
On 6/13/2018 Vic Smead's little helper wrote in from (50.206.nnn.nnn)

As per phone call today 6-13-2018, the Bush Park SBD hill is still open for our non-scheduled drop-in use of that specific municipal recreation facility. Stay tuned, one more call planned for 6-15-2018.

Depending on ambient temperature and available pre-event preparation time, the food may be BBQ or Subway subs. Stay tuned.

Thanks - The Management.

Salem Slalom BBQ Water Blue-Green Algae Alert!
On 6/9/2018 Vic Smead wrote in from (50.206.nnn.nnn)

Hey folks, Salem has been having a bit of a blue-green algae (and it's toxins) problem lately, nothing serious unless you're young, old and or already sick with something. That said, I'll have my usual extra water but you might want to bring plenty of your own water also so you don't have to rely on the drinking fountain at the top of the hill. Don't be scared - be prepared!
Thanks - The Management.

Downhillbillies

I think those guys all ate each other. Not like zombies per se, but like regular run-of-the-mill cannibals. More or less. Something like that happened anyway, as I recall. As the years have gone by, it's gotten sorta fuzzy.

Hope that helps.
